May 14, 2014

Huntington Memorial Hospital hosted an emergency preparedness drill on
its campus on May 9. The scenario was an "active shooter" in
the hospital where police and fire personnel responded and took simulated
action. Officials from the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's
Tactics and Survival Training Unit, Pasadena Fire Department, and Pasadena
Police Department, as well as Huntington Hospitalstaff, participated
in the drill. "We appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with
all of our local authorities in continuing to ensure that our staff is
prepared to respond if/when necessary," said Senior Vice President
of Philanthropy and Public Relations, Jane Haderlein. "Our hospital's
strong partnerships with first responders is an ongoing source of pride
that helps us best serve our patients and our community."
